About
Faz Roofing, Inc. is a long established Dallas roofing contractor at 4545 E. R. L. Thornton Freeway, Dallas, TX 75223, on the east side of the city. Its own site describes it as Dallas-Fort Worth's roofing contractor since 1979, and the BBB has held it as an Accredited Business with an A+ rating since 1 August 1987, one of the older continuous accreditations among Dallas roofers. The BBB file gives a business start date of 1 January 1977 and an incorporation date of 23 June 1986. The owner is Ruben Faz and the office manager is Vicky Faz.
The company does not publish an explanation of the name, and none should be inferred: FAZ is the family surname of the owners, not a stated acronym. It is a genuine steep slope and low slope generalist rather than a shingle only outfit. Residential work covers tear offs, re-roofs, overlays, new roof decking, shingle installation, cedar shakes, ventilation and wind turbines. Commercial work covers flat and low slope systems including built up tar and gravel, single ply membranes such as EPDM rubber and TPO, and modified bitumen, plus roof restoration. The BBB categorises the business under roofing contractors, commercial roofing, flat roofing contractors and roofing consultants, and its trade listings reference metal decking as well.
Published service coverage runs across the DFW metroplex, naming Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano and Irving. Being inland, the practical risk for its customers is hail rather than coastal windstorm, and a Dallas homeowner comparing quotes should be asking about the impact class of the shingle being proposed and how decking, flashing and ventilation are priced.

Insurance & credential verification
Texas does not issue a state roofing license, so we verify companies the way homeowners actually can: confirming insurance coverage, checking RCAT (Roofing Contractors Association of Texas) status, and checking city or county registration where the local jurisdiction requires one. Every credential below links to the actual issuing organization's own public lookup — don't just take our checkmark for it. Always ask for a current certificate of insurance before signing any contract.

RCAT statusNot listed
City/county registration
Registered — Dallas Check the register ↗Contractor Certificate of Registration (Dallas City Code Ch. 52), type Roofing (RO). This company appears on the city's own list of registered contractors. The city publishes no certificate number or expiry date for this programme, so ask to see the registration itself before work starts.
RegionDallas
Confirm this yourself: ask the company for their certificate of insurance (COI). Note that RCAT's Licensed Roofing Contractor credential (CRRL, RRL or CRL) is earned and held by a named individual at a company, not by the business itself, which is why we name that person above where we know it; Texas issues no company roofing license at all. RCAT and NTRCA status can be checked in their own public directories (RCAT, NTRCA) — use the "Licensed"/"Accredited" filter to see more than plain membership. GAF's contractor verification tool and Owens Corning's Texas locator confirm those tiers directly; CertainTeed doesn't offer a comparable self-serve lookup, so ask to see that certificate in person. BBB accreditation and rating are on bbb.org. Houston's own published registered-roofer list is years out of date, so it isn't cited here at all — confirm registration by contacting the city directly. Corpus Christi's STAR program has its own online contractor registry — for any other city or county registration claim, confirm directly with that jurisdiction's permit office.

Frequently asked
What does FAZ stand for?
The company does not say, and it should not be guessed at. Faz is the family surname of the owners: the BBB profile lists Ruben Faz as owner and Vicky Faz as office manager. There is no published expansion of the name as an acronym.
Is Faz Roofing licensed by the State of Texas?
Texas does not issue a state roofing licence, so no roofer in Texas can be state licensed. For a Dallas job, the meaningful checks are City of Dallas contractor registration, a certificate of general liability and workers compensation insurance sent directly by the insurer, and any voluntary credentials the company holds.
Is the company an RCAT member?
We did not find a record for it via the RCAT member search at web.rcat.net. RCAT is a voluntary trade association, and its plain membership is a different thing from the separately earned RCAT Licensed Roofing Contractor credential. Neither was found here. The company's verifiable third party credential is its long standing BBB accreditation.
How long has Faz Roofing been trading?
Its own site says since 1979. The BBB file records a business start date of 1 January 1977 and incorporation on 23 June 1986, and BBB accreditation dating from 1 August 1987. The dates differ slightly across records, but on any reading this is a business that has been operating in Dallas for over four decades.
Does it do flat and commercial roofs as well as houses?
Yes. Alongside residential tear offs, re-roofs and shingle work it lists built up tar and gravel, single ply membranes including EPDM rubber and TPO, and modified bitumen. The BBB categorises it under commercial roofing, flat roofing contractors and roofing consultants as well as roofing contractors.
What are Class 4 impact resistant shingles and do they matter in Dallas?
Class 4 is the top rating under the UL 2218 impact test, meaning the shingle survived repeated two inch steel ball strikes without cracking the mat. Dallas sits in the North Texas hail belt, and most Texas insurers offer a premium discount for a full Class 4 roof. Ask any roofer for the UL 2218 class of the specific product they are quoting, not just the brand.
How does a hail claim usually work here?
You report the storm date to your insurer, an adjuster inspects and writes a scope, and the carrier normally pays actual cash value up front and releases the withheld depreciation once the work is finished and invoiced. Texas law prohibits a contractor from paying, waiving, rebating or absorbing your deductible, so treat any such offer as a reason to look elsewhere.
Do I need WPI-8 windstorm certification for a Dallas roof?
No. WPI-8 certificates are required only in the fourteen first tier Gulf Coast counties covered by the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association. Dallas is inland and outside that scheme entirely, so WPI-8 has no bearing on a roof here.
Who pulls the permit for a Dallas re-roof?
Texas has no statewide building code, so permitting is handled city by city. In Dallas the city issues the roofing permit and the contractor normally pulls it. If a contractor asks you to take the permit out in your own name, that moves the liability onto you and is worth challenging.
What should I ask before signing?
Ask for insurer issued proof of general liability and workers compensation, confirmation of City of Dallas contractor registration, the exact roof system or shingle line and its impact class, whether decking replacement, flashing and ventilation are inside the quoted price, whether the crew is employed or subcontracted, and the length and terms of the written workmanship warranty separate from any manufacturer material warranty.
